The ITN Stardust Project is an EU-wide programme, funded by the FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training Networks (ITN) scheme, which will provide Europe with a first generation of decision makers, engineers and scientists that have the knowledge and capabilities to address the asteroid and space debris issue now and in the future. The overriding goal of this network is to train researchers to develop and master techniques for asteroid and space debris monitoring, removal/deflection and exploitation such that they can be applied in a real scenario. The researcher at the DFKI will work in the fields of active removal/deflection of uncooperative targets specifically on close-range navigation and manipulation of space debris and asteroids.
